What does it look like to work with me?

Are you prepared to dive deep? Equipping yourself with education and preparation to be an active participant in your care? Then great, we will be a good team!

 
 

Meet Rachel

I practice with a physiology first approach. Your body is wonderfully capable of birth! If complications or interventions arise, I will be with you every step of the way. I specialize in physiologic birth and birth bio-mechanics (how your body works).

I trust you. I trust your body. I trust your baby.

Birth Values: Physiology, Personal Responsibility, Patience, Preparation, Education, Advocacy, Informed Choice and Continuity of Care.

Physiologic Birth: “A process whereby the woman commences, continues, and completes labor with the infant being born spontaneously at term, in the vertex position, and without surgical, medical, or pharmaceutical intervention.”-ICM 

I am excited to be your guide through this incredible season of life! I promise to point you towards credible, evidence-based information. And more importantly, I promise to point you towards your center, and encourage your intuition.  I am passionate about informed choice, and your role as leader in your care journey . You truly know your body and your baby better than anyone else.​
